Blokus is an intriguing game that tests the visual, spatial, and pattern-solving skills of young players. The game board features 400 squares and 84 game jewels, which come in several translucent colors. Blokus is similar to Pente, Chinese Checkers, and other games of skill and strategy. The goal is to get rid of your pieces before your opponents can get rid of theirs.

The rules are simple. Every turn, you must put a piece down that touches another piece of the same color at the corners. You want to block your opponents from laying down their pieces and give yourself opportunities to lay down your pieces. This is a fun family game that teaches strategy, coordination, and mathematical skills.
